Dermot McBride took the toss for the O'Fiaich Cup in Crossmaglen and on Sunday it was Chrissy McKaigue who led the Derry men out of the Owenbeg tunnel.

After Sunday's win over Antrim manager Damian Barton indicated that he had not made a choice on who would lead the Oak Leaf County in 2016.

"Sure they should all be captains," quipped Barton when asked if he had given it much thought. "We’ll have a different captain next week and we’ll have a different
captain against Queens."

The former Derry player is looking more leadership from his squad. "They all have to accept the responsibility of managing
it out on the pitch. The personnel we have are very quiet players so that’s
something we need to develop within them as well. The communication
aspect so we’ll keep working at it."Here is a clip of Barton answering @citycolt Steven Doherty's question.
